In Search of God's Promises

What is the one thing we do when we feel out of control in a situation? We grasp onto something stable, something we can lean on, something that will hold us up. When the ground is shifting we want something solid to stand on. This is a journey through the Bible in search of God's promises for us today. Let's look together to see how many "boulders" He has in His quarry for us to stand on! "It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom. 9:8

Promise 28 Gen. 13:16

Gen. 13:16 - "I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered." Have you ever noticed how dust never really goes away? It's a constant presence, sure it can be wiped away for a moment, but then the next day it's back. Abram's descendants were going to be as dust. Because God's hand and favour was on him, His descendants were the physical sign of God's blessing on Abraham. Not only was it His promise to him, but the reality. When God favours us, His blessings are like dust ever present. On occasion it may seem like they've been wiped away, but then, there they are again, very evident and all around us. Thank you Lord for Your many blessings!
